Fitness for One and All's Nutrition and Supplements pages.

Featured Sites:

MuscleSurf - offers many nutritional supplements at greatly reduced prices. They have a full line of supplements for weightlifters and other athletes. The site even includes "Information Guides" describing various products, "What's the best ...?" articles to help you pick out the best high-quality, reasonably priced brand, customer reviews of products, and other helpful buying guides.

Glycemic Index - "Here you will find information on the Glycemic Index of foods, latest GI data, GI books, GI testing services and information on the GI symbol program." See my article on The Glycemic Index for why knowing the glycemic rating of foods is important.

Nutrient Data Laboratory Food Composition Data - "Search for values in the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 13."

NutritionFocus - "Your complete source for nutritional information." By Solgar, maker of supplements, so this site is somewhat bias, but it does have quite a bit of helpful information.

Omega-3, Omega-6 - "in Oils Nuts Seeds. Essential Fatty Acids." Helpful info.

USDA Nutrient Values - "This is a simple Web interface to the USDA Nutrient Database. Nutrient values are available for 100 gram portions as well as two common serving sizes."

A good source for basic info on a wide variety of nutrients. But note that this site does sell supplements, so some of the info might be a little slanted.
